How to consume cooked rice, english dal makhani without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of cooked rice and dal makhani you consume. Smaller portions will lower the total carbohydrate intake at one time, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate more fiber-rich vegetables into your meal, such as spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers. These vegetables can slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, minimizing the glucose spike.

Choose Brown Rice

Substitute white rice with brown rice, which is a whole grain with more fiber and nutrients. It has a slower digestion rate, contributing to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Include Protein

Add a side of lean protein, like grilled chicken, fish, or tofu. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by further slowing carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Introduce a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado, nuts, or seeds, into your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar increases by slowing down the digestion process.

Pre-Meal Preparations

Start your meal with a small salad or vegetable soup. Eating fiber-rich foods first can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates from the subsequent courses.

Monitor Cooking Methods

Opt for cooking methods that preserve the fiber content of vegetables and rice, such as steaming or sautéing instead of frying or boiling for too long.

Herbs and Spices

Incorporate spices like cinnamon or turmeric into your dal makhani. Some spices may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after meals to help your muscles utilize glucose more effectively, reducing blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially with meals, to help your body manage blood sugar levels more efficiently.
